Hate Hoax - A Federal Courthouse Violently Targeted By Antifa & BLM For A Basketball Poster That Was "Mistaken" For 'White Supremacist' Symbol (Photos&Video)

A protester in Portland claimed she spotted a white supremacist hate symbol taunting her from a window of the BLM-besieged federal court.

The video uploaded to Twitter on Saturday by Morgan McKniff, a Portland-based Antifa activist and self-described “citizen journalist,” claims to show a racist symbol in the window of the Mark O. Hatfield US Courthouse, a building targeted during weeks of violent demonstrations by Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters.

“White Power symbol in window outside the US Court House,” McKniff tweeted along with the video. Her tweet was quickly shared by other Antifa accounts, racking up thousands of video views within hours. Antifa group Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front tweeted out an image of the hand, adding, “Inside the Federal Courthouse in Portland: White Power symbol on a background of 3s— ’33’ being used to signify ‘KKK.'”

The rows of the digit “3” are also significant, the theory goes. They stand for “33/6,” which klansmen use to refer to their organization.

However, as it turns out, the image is not a white supremacist or KKK symbol but rather a poster for the Trail Blazers NBA basketball team produced by NBC Sports Northwest. The three fingers symbolize three points.

“We can confirm the poster spotted in a Hatfield Courthouse window this evening is in fact a Portland Trailblazers poster,” tweeted the Oregon US Attorney’s Office.

Antifa & BLM supporters were calling for the federal courthouse to be shot at and burned down because of that image. Even when their hoax was exposed, they still attacked the building last night.

Earlier, Oregon State Police investigated an ‘OK’ gesture made by an officer during a Black Lives Matter rally, which the demonstrators took as a white power symbol shown in support of a counter-protest. The police found nothing wrong with it.

Facts don't matter to them. Just need an excuse to continue the destruction until they turn onto each other!

Seriously, what’s in the water in Portland?

Are they pumping estrogen in it or something?
Maybe something to be said about ‘soybased’ products?

An NBA poster triggered these morons?

Ya, they need therapy, probably more then are available.

These people are trying to incite an overreaction. They would love to see one of their people hurt so they can incite more violence. It never was a protest, but instead always a riot. Are they assembling lawfully?

Who would know such a thing? Or care?

You can't even reason with these people when they're sober let alone when they're all drugged up.

I hope the "legalize drugs" crowd is happy with what they've wrought upon this country.

These Feds need to quit playing around. This is happening every night. Surely, the Feds can plan overwhelming force to be deployed once the night riot starts. Bring in troops quickly and surround the rioters arresting every single one of them, and charge them with Federal crimes. This would capture 100s of the hard core. If they rally more the following nights, repeat as necessary and them all them of on the hook in Federal court. This rioting will stop when they run out commie troops to riot.

What? You'd have to be blind not to see that the Trailblazers logo is a stylized swastika.

Has anyone in the Media noticed that ANtifa is using an updated version of the symbol for the 1933 wing of Germany's communist party? Anyone? Bueller?

They even use the EXACT same name, AntiFascit Action. C'mon media! You're "investigative journalists", right?

So, following their logic, the next time I see a Prius with a Coexist sticker on it, I am justified in smashing the windows and torching the car. Got it.

That’s the idea. Make the rise of white supremacy a self-fulfilling prophecy. BLM: Giving mental illness a bad name.
